Travels With Charley: In Search of America

Travels With Charley: In Search of America - John Steinbeck Enjoyable and unsettling. The first half of the trip was a joy to travel along with Mr. Steinbeck. The last half a pain in the ass and disagreeable as he never skirted from the social issues shoved in his face in 1960. I have read some accounts that prove this book was fiction, but I don't care. I also read that Steinbeck was dying. Again, I do not care. This was a great book, and is still applicable to the times we live in today. But it takes courage and a bit of tolerance to read this accounting of America by John Steinbeck. Not much has changed except for it getting worsened by the hands of its inhabitants. Too bad we couldn't erase some of our so-called progress and the promises it made. But it is what it is, and it is mine for the time I might have left to enjoy it.
